Abstract
We report STM/STS observations on the 4 a×4 a charge order in the pseudogap (PG) and superconducting (SC) states of Bi 2Sr 2CaCu 2O 8+ δ , and suggest that the charge order is associated with incoherent quasiparticle or pair states around the antinodal fermi surface (FS), which are also responsible for the PG, and it can coexist with the superconductivity caused by the pairing of coherent quasiparticles on the nodal fermi arc. We also suggest that the nanometer-scale gap inhomogeneity in the SC state, reported previously [Pan, et al., Nature 413 (2001) 282; Mommo, et al., J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 74 (2005) 2400; Hashimoto, et al., Phys. Rev. B74 (2006) 064508] arises from that in the PG state, which occurs around the antinodal FS.
